Hi Steve. I'm also in Newhaven, and I know this car quite well, having helped Mark get it running many years ago. As you say, originally TX9 black with a white inverted C stripe, it would have been a stunner when new. Glad to hear it's still local - if I can help in any way, let me know
Hi Adam, Thanks for the background info. You've got an advantage over me 'cos I've never seen this car run !
Going by the build sheet it also came from the factory wearing hood pins and - a quite rare I understand- trunk rack. This makes me chuckle - with a boot as big as that why on earth would anyone need a trunk lid rack ? That's probably one thing that won't feature in it's next incarnation.
Now I've seen your lovely Coronet around here a few times and guessed you weren't far away. Thanks very much for the offer of help- that's very kind.
Steve
Some days you're the windshield- some days you're the bug.
It just goes to show there are a loads of cars still tucked away rusting.
It’s great your getting stuck into this Steve,
Enjoy it and get your son involved too.
Keep up with the photos.
Richard
